About our non-slip bath coating in Fillingham
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, in acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repairing versus replacing in Fillingham
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we price non-slip bath coating
We don’t charge extra for travel to Fillingham. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Fillingham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Fillingham
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
